Mona's become a child of the night
( ni- i -i ight)
When she goes out
It's only for bare ne cessities
She says she's had it up to here with light
( li-i-i-i-ight )
While the city sleeps
That's when she comes alive
Yes, the night belongs to Mona
ad
When she's dancing all alone
Forty floors a bove the city
CDs spinnin' AC hummin' Feelin' pretty
Sometimes she'll call at some un holy hour
(ho-ou-our
She wants to talk
All of this grim and funny stuff
Then she'll go all quiet in her Chelsea tower
(tow---er )
And that' when we wait
To see how the story ends
'Cause the night belongs to Mona
When she's dancing all a lone
Forty floors a bove the city
CDs spinnin' AC hummin' Feelin' pretty
Was it the fire down town
That turned her world a round
Was it some guy or lots of different things
We all wonder where she's gone
That sunny girl we used to know
Now every night we get the Mona show
Maybe it's good that she's a bove it all
( awwwwwwww
things don't seem as dark
When you're already dressed in black
We try not to see the writing on the wall
(waaaaaaah---
What happens to morrow
When the moonrays
(maj
Get so bright
When she rises
Towards the starlight
Miles above
The city's heat
Will she fall hard
Or float softly to the street
Tonight the night belongs to Mona
ad
When she's dancing all a lone
Forty floors a bove the city
CDs spinnin' AC hummin' Feelin' pretty
